>I have installed IIS on my new laptop which uses XP Pro. All the services appear to be working, but no pages are served up in the browser. I have not been able to get this working since I bought the laptop. Locallost just hangs, so there is not error message. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, reinstalling my operating system with the source discs from Dell, and installing all of the patches and updates I could find. Please help me with this. I've been struggling with this for 3 weeks.
First try a "Hello World!" HTML file, called by name:
===] HelloWorld.htm [===
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Hello World!</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><P>Hello World!</P></BODY></HTML>
=====================
Save in the root, in the browser enter:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://localhost/helloworld.htm" target="_blank">http://localhost/helloworld.htm</a>
If that doesn't work, one common issue:
No network connection. Install the MS Loopback Adapter. See:

If that does work, then other common issues:
Antivirus or Firewall software blocking scripts
IIS Lockdown or URLScan with the ASP extension blcoked.
